Hello from Wales - UK

Hi All,

My name is Jeff and I'm 47 years old living in the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales in the UK.

I have newly taken up golf this year by taking advantage of an introductory offer at my local club - full membership and lessons for 3 months for £75 (pretty good I think)

The club pro Richard has his work cut out with me but he's very patient and I'm starting to see some improvement - now to get started reducing my first ever full 18 hole scorecard from 123.

Cheers all

hi jeff
you have made a good move by joining gto
i was shooting in the 120's not so long ago but with a lot help from this site im scoring in the low 90's and the odd 80's now
enjoy!

Thanks slats,

A bit of encouragement goes a long way!

no problem jeff
ask a ton of questions youll get replies from a wide range of people from the pro's and newbies like me who know what you are going through.
if you have a particular fault like slicing or hooking use the search facility
to get you to the relevant thread quicker.

Well hello to a fellow welshman i live down on the coast between Cardiff and Swansea and it nice to meet a fellow countryman on here. Im sure after a few lessons you will be fine and enjoying it as much as everyone on here

good luck


regards

Thanks for the welcome all.

Welshie - nice to meet another Taff here too. I work in Cardiff at Cardiff University maybe we can meet up someday and hack a round together

Aftford - thanks for the link that's a good site.

And Frosty - That's what I'm planning to try out when I play later on today.

Well - I'm back from my round - 118

I should be pleased but to be honest not much improvement - too many 9's and 10's

never mind there's always next time

Hi Jeffers

you have a great attitude. practice the drills from the web site i suggested and within a couple of weeks you will notice a huge difference.

Have faith my friend .
